Obstructive intramural hematoma of the esophagus is an unusual complication of endoscopic sclerotherapy. We report three patients with liver cirrhosis who experienced such a complication. In our series, the frequency was 1.6 percent. A few hours after sclerotherapy, all three patients complained of low retrosternal pain, dysphagia and hypersialorrhea. Endoscopy was performed in two patients and showed a typical bluish submucosal mass occupying the esophageal lumen. Outcome was favorable in all patients within one week of conservative treatment. We hypothesized that hematoma could be ascribed to variceal puncture. The extension of the hematoma with dissection of the esophageal wall which had been fragilized by previous sclerotherapy sessions could have been facilitated by impaired coagulation.
